Halloween pizza I'll usually think of any excuse to eat pizza. New episode of my favorite TV show is on tonight? I'll order a pizza! Won $50? Order a pizza! Arbor Day? Pizza time!

So Halloween is just a perfect a night as any other to have some pizza. This one from Betty Crocker you make yourself. The giant slab of cheese in spider-shapes placed on top of each slice gives it that Halloween look. Maybe you can add some black olives so it really looks Halloweeny.*

Note: you'll need Halloween cookie cutters for this recipe, unless you're really handy with a knife.

*Halloweeny?

Halloween Cheese Pizza

1 1/2 original Bisquick mix
1/3 cup very hot water
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
5 slices American cheese

Move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Grease 12 inch pizza pan.

Mix Bisquick and very hot water until soft dough forms. Press dough in pizza pan, using fingers dipped in Bisquick; pinch edge to form 1/2-inch rim.

Bake 10 minutes. Spread pizza sauce over crust. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Cut American cheese with cookie cutters in Halloween shapes. Place cheese shapes on pizza just before serving.
